SpaceX has reportedly locked up over 100 GW of solar cell manufacturing equipment from German toolmaker SINGULUS to build STARMIND AI satellites, with the first turnkey heterojunction line arriving in Bastrop, Texas in H1 2027. Elon Musk says most of a Starmind satellite's mass is solar panels — the solar factory is the satellite factory. 100 GW is enough for 400,000 satellites.
